At this point, I would be recommending enabling the Debug argument to the Net::NNTP constructor in your script to show NNTP protocol communication between your client script and local news server.
For example:
rob@development:/home/rob$ cat nntp.perl
use Net::NNTP;
use Socket;
my $nntp = Net::NNTP->new('news-server', 'Debug' => 1);
my $hostaddr = $nntp->connected;
print inet_ntoa((sockaddr_in($hostaddr))[1]), "\n" if defined $hostadd
+r;
rob@development:/home/rob$ perl nntp.perl
Net::NNTP>>> Net::NNTP(2.22)
Net::NNTP>>> Net::Cmd(2.24)
Net::NNTP>>> Exporter(5.562)
Net::NNTP>>> IO::Socket::INET(1.25)
Net::NNTP>>> IO::Socket(1.26)
Net::NNTP>>> IO::Handle(1.21)
Net::NNTP=GLOB(0x8262444)<<< 200 Welcome to BigPond Broadband - http:/
+/www.telstra.com/ (Typhoon v2.0.4.336)
Net::NNTP=GLOB(0x8262444)>>> MODE READER
Net::NNTP=GLOB(0x8262444)<<< 200 Welcome to BigPond Broadband - http:/
+/www.telstra.com/ (Typhoon v2.0.4.336)
61.9.191.5
Net::NNTP=GLOB(0x8262444)>>> QUIT
Net::NNTP=GLOB(0x8262444)<<< 205 GoodBye
Furthermore, I would recommend comparing the return result of the connected method with the socket status as reported by operating system tools such as netstat - The usage of this tool to show the status of established TCP sockets would be netstat -t under Linux and netstat -p tcp under Windows.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
